My thoughts exactly Tails! Shit journey up (literally), shit game and the traffic on way home rounded the day off nicely...not!

Preston fans have an odd sense of entitlement as well. I spoke to fans of championship clubs and they've all said the same. They seem to think they are special because they were good 120 years ago.

Preston is also on a list of towns in the UK I consider more of a shithole than Swindon too. It's not a particularly long list either!

Mixed bag really - Deepdale (East Preston) is a dive, Ashton (W) and Fulwood (N) are much nicer. Quite a small place, but plenty going on with it being a university city.

I had the misfortune of spending a day off on tour in preston holiday inn.  Just across the road from that lovely bus station.  Apart from a quick walk around google eyed at how many Greggs they had there was very little excitement.  I began to question my choice of job.

Id rather be in Swindon.

Was going, until I found out the return rail ticket was almost £90, with everything else on top I wouldn't get much change from £200 so I'm passing unfortunately.
